Raba Sharang, u have my full support in this. I don’t know why Deeds has also bothered to mention that the blind had outnumbered other types of disabled people during the International Disabled Day celebration on Dec 3, 2009 when there were only 9 visually impaired amongst 26 deaf persons from Drugyel LSS, 9 deaf and dumb from Draktsho Vocational Training Centre and some more physically handicapped from Gidagom hospital! Does it not look like a deliberate attempt to discolour the public view of persons with visual impairment when they have done so much to organize the celebration for the benefit of persons with all forms of disabilities? I know the blind had taken lead role in organizing the celebration that day because they being the only so-called formally educated disabled lot in the country, there was no other option. So their initiative must be appreciated rather than being mocked at since it was for the noble cause of all kinds of disabled people in Bhutan.

Hey Deeds, what do you think of yourself? I know Sanga Dorji well and I am sure he is not as greedy and selfish as you have pointed out. I am sure you are no other than his fellow-staff and you are trying to defame him simply out of personal grudge and envy. Of course I was too late to visit this site but your comments really outraged me because you are trying to paint him falsely in the public. He might be attending more VIPs but that could be simply because they might be preferring him most as he being the first Bhutanese physiotherapist has the longest serving experiences. You have said that he never even greets an ordinary person but I totally disagree with you. Even I am a mediocre man and he treats me alike with others whenever I go to him for physiotherapeutic treatments. Please don’t always try to count on the negative attributes as nobody is perfect in the world. I am sure even you cannot be absolutely perfect in your profession. So although Sanga might be having some problems dealing with certain issues, there are a lot more in him that deserve our appreciation and regard.

Of course Blindness for Sanga Dorji was and is a blessing in disguise. He would have never reached this position that he claims to be successful and competent. He is in fact a role model for many blind persons in Bhutan. Unfortunately it is sad to see him enjoying the pity and sympathy that other people show to him. He only is what he claims to be because influential people felt pity on him and they listened to his personal grievances. Not because he is competent.
People in his department say he doesn’t see ordinary and common patients, in fact not even a single patient over the last decade. He only attends to big and influential people, and during the process he tries to gain some personal favour. They say he doesn’t see a single indoor patient. He says he teaches but people in his department say its the health volunteers from overseas who do almost all the teachings. Sanga has very little clinical knowledge and is confident to teach only one subject which is not very useful for physiotherapy.
He feels indebted to those staff who help him in his personal works and thereby favours them in the day to day activities of the department. They say there are now well trained, educated, and proactive new national physiotherapists but Sanga doesn’t give them the chance to improve things in physiotherapy, he feels insecure.
It is really nice for him to take a lead role in celebrating occasions such as international day for persons with disabilities but I heard there were more visually impaired people than any other disabilities. Your excellency should have also interviewed the parents of the children with disabilities, they have different stories to tell on this guy.
Your excellency should also interview the staff of his department and they have the different stories to tell on this guy. He will definitely attend to you if you visit him in the hospital but he will not even say hello to a farmer from your constituency who visited him with ailments.
He is one greedy person I might conclude and he might be the least efficient person when it comes to clinical work.

I threw my remote control when Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize and pressed on the importance of WAR in Afganistan in his speech. And you, you have simply humbled me with this interview.
Way to Go! Your Excellency.

A very innocent and enlightening interview. Thank you Hon OL for bringing such interviews to our attention. I wished you asked him qhestions like how he noticed the lakes on teh Dagala trek and in what ways he embraced it to enjoy it as mentioned in teh interview. Also isn’t it amazing that he managed to trek to Singey Dzong which for many of us truly remain a dream as we don’t make time and effort to do it. This teaches us that IF THERE IS A WILL – THERE IS SURELY A WAY.

Thank you for sharing this interview. In many ways there are many lessons imbeded in this story.
